The Citadel by Pillow

Visit the center of Madrid on foot

If you don’t know what to see in Madrid, keep reading, because we can help you. Madrid is a fascinating, lively, interesting, bright, and fun city, where you can afford to do almost anything you can think of. We recommend that, before you start organizing your route through Madrid, you can look at the hostels in Madrid and choose one that is in the center of the city.

That said, we start with our route through the center of the city of Madrid on foot, as it is the best way to get to know this magical corner of the planet.

We start the route with a quiet walk along the Paseo del Prado. The first thing you will see on your right is the Royal Botanical Garden and if you keep walking you will find the Prado Museum. This main street ends at the Plaza de Cibeles, mythical for Real Madrid fans.

There you can also find the Bank of Spain and the city hall of Madrid. If you continue along Alcalá street, a few meters away you will find the famous Puerta de Alcalá, one of the 5 ancient royal gates that gave access to the city. Continue your walk through the Retiro Park and change streets to go to Gran Via.

When you go up the Gran Via you will find the Puerta del Sol, the nerve center of the city and a few meters from the Plaza Mayor, where you can take a well-deserved coffee with milk. Now you have done a tour of the center of Madrid, but there are still many things to discover, such as the San Miguel market, the Almudena Cathedral, the Royal Palace, the Temple of Debod, etc.
